2

2. The driving method of the input device according to claim 1 , wherein the signal comprises labeled pattern data.

3

3. The driving method of the input device according to claim 1 , wherein the input device has a function of sensing contact of an object.

4

4. The driving method of the input device according to claim 1 , wherein the input device comprises a flexible region.

5

5. A driving method of an input device comprising: a first region and a second region, wherein the first region and the second region are provided so as to face each other, the driving method comprising steps of: obtaining first positional data input to the first region; obtaining second positional data input to the second region; obtaining third positional data comprising data which is logical conjunction of the first positional data and the second positional data; and outputting a signal in accordance with the third positional data.

6

6. The driving method of the input device according to claim 5 , wherein the signal comprises labeled pattern data.

7
